We're pleased to announce the 9.23 release of SProc, bringing you several new developments and enhancements.

Enhanced DST assessment display for Patient Portal

Comprehensive DST-specific information display has been added to the Patient Portal. Patient-users with access to the Patient Portal will see the new information shown includes:

  • Assessor names and contact details.

  • Assessment and review locations.

  • Scheduled and completion dates.

  • MDT recommendations - Eligible and Not Eligible.

  • Consent information and social worker participation details, and personal health budget information.

This allows patients to access detailed information about their DST assessments in one centralised location.

  • Professional email templates with clear assessment completion information.

  • Direct links to Patient Portal for immediate access.

  • Automatic delivery to registered patient email addresses.

See our handy guide for more information on DST completion email notifications.


DST document download functionality on Patient Portal

Download capability for completed DST documents has been added to the Patient Portal. This enables patients to maintain personal copies of their healthcare assessments


AACC activity type updates

The system has been updated to reflect latest NHSE changes to AACC activity type fields. This ensures accurate reporting and compliance with current NHSE requirements.

Change from

  • 01- Adult - NHS Continuing Healthcare.

  • 02 - Adult - CHC Joint Funding.

  • 03 - CYP โ€“ CYP Continuing Care.

To

  • 01 - NHS Continuing Healthcare.

  • 02 - Joint funded package of health and social care.

Electronic signature implementation - DST documents

Electronic signature capability has been added for DST assessments. Assessors can now sign DST documents directly within the system, eliminating the need to print, sign on paper, scan, and upload documents. This provides a significantly faster and more efficient assessment completion process.

๐Ÿ“Œ Note: Signatures must be enabled within the Layouts via CSMs if not already enabled. Example below.

Electronic signature implementation - checklist documents

Electronic signature functionality has been developed for assessor checklists. Assessors can complete checklists digitally with signatures automatically included in generated documents. This streamlines the checklist workflow.


Visual design improvements

SProc styling has been updated to align with Access Group branding. Changes include updated colours, fonts, and button styling throughout the application.

๐Ÿ“Œ Note: Colour changes will largely only apply to default colour scheme.


Clock days

When theโ€ฏReferral Clock Unit Type is set to Days on the referral type configuration, the Clock Start and Clock End Date will only consider the #Days to count rather than calculating against the Hours and Minutes as well.

The Referral Clock Start Behaviour setting will continue to work as, but will factor in the change in calculation stated above.โ€ฏ


Editable referral discharge date - form uploads

On 'Discharge to Assess form upload' referrals, the discharge date is now exposed and editable when the discharge date field is optional or required by the Referral or Referral Form Layout. This function is available via the action menu on the referral/referral form.
